For some reason, slinging apps to close is no longer making the "Weeeeeee" sound effect. I do however get "whoosh" sound effect.
Anyone know how to fix?
MOD EDIT (LP): Please see post 7 for the answer
Credit to nunjabusiness
Mine does this too every so often. It happens when I close a program by dragging it down and letting it "slingshot" up to be closed. It sounds like one of the sound files from angry birds. I have no idea why it does it.
I'm going to ask the obvious but you have it positioned with USB port to the left? It only makes the Weeeeeeee sound when it's in that position, with the USB to the right you only get the Whoooooosh. Other than that, no idea sorry.
one of the funniest feature on the TP.
Angry Birds sound only occurs when the device is held with speakers up, thus home button and usb on left. You then pull back and let the card go as normal and voila.

It works just as you described. Button on the left, then the sling sound works. Other way around it's the whoosh. I though I lost the sound file when i installed angry birds.

Slingshot Easter Egg in WebOS
If anyone doesn't already know about the "easter egg" in the WebOS UI, you have to see this. I take no credit, looktall mentioned it in another thread and I googled it to find out the rest.
With an app open but showing as a card, turn the tablet over in landscape mode with the home button on the LEFT. Now, instead of flicking the card up to close it, pull it down to the taskbar and let go quickly.
Highlight the line below this one to read spoiler:
If you do it right, you will hear the sound of a rubber band stretching and the card will fly off with a "wheeeeeeee!" sound a la Angry Birds.
I also find it funny that Angry Birds itself will only display in the other direction.
wtf! thats so whack hahaha
i came across it via the forums at Pre Central
there's also a facebook easter egg as well.
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...s/296145-facebook-easter-egg.html#post3122366
EDIT: for the slingshot easter egg make sure you have your sound turned up.
Haha, just found this out a few hours ago completely by accident.
I get the rubber band sound, but that's it >:E I've tried browser cards and a couple of apps. Does it only work with specific apps?
It the first thing i noticed when I got the touchpad, did the system update and it stopped, so assumed they removed it. I didn't know till now I had to have the home button on the left
pwnst*r pull back and release, but has to be quick
LOL, I "discovered" this some time ago just after playing Angry Birds and thought there was a glitch in the system cause it was still doing Angry Birds sounds.

That's not an easter egg, it's a documented feature. It's still cool though.

Funny, every other reference to it that I found called it exactly that.
BTW, where is this so-called documentation people keep mentioning?
What came with the device doesn't even mention the swipe/flick thing anywhere. Hell it doesn't tell you much at all.

I meant the "swipe up from bottom bezel to minimize to card" that all the noobs keep "discovering."
I swear I love the slingshot thing so much I was annoying some of my employees off and on all day. I now keep the thing upside down on my stand and have no issues working the hardware controls where they are.

As a former moderator of now lost C2Doomers forum, I have decided to share all those great DOOM total conversions that can be played on our devices using GFDoom (instructions are here. All of these games are merged, so just put them in Gfdoom directory and rename the one you want to play to DOOM2.wad.
Screenshots and more info are coming soon!
All credits for porting (or creating) these wonderful games go to Sinek
Golden Eye 64
Download
Doom 64 (my favorite)
I sometimes call it Doom 2.5, as new monster sprites look much more serious
Download
Twilight Warrior
Spec ops missions, my favorite is level 2, the only really good jungle map I have ever seen on Doom
Download
Lucifer Gate
Blood styled mod, not as polished as mine, but otherwise fun
Download
Wolf3d
Recreation of Wolfenstein 3d on Doom, really worth checking out!
Download
There is no installation, just copy the contents of this zip to your phone, put WAD files in the same directory and use gfDoomLauncher to play
How to change a skin:
GfDoomLauncher->Skin
GFDoom supports nice feature to change skins this way completely redesigning the onscreen buttons layout. In package I have added some original skins and some custom ones designed for Raphael and Diamond (BADoomed and EnergyROM, with these two skins you can go into great fullscreen mode!!! )
For persons with WVGA screens- please, use WVGAFIX4

come on, guys, these mods are not poisonous, infected or zombified, it's worth checking them out!
Waw, thanks!
I will try after work.
ON TG01.. finally found a shareware iwad file, then the launcher tells me it can't use it lol. nice.
So.. I just ran the exe rather than the launcher and it allows me to scroll on the menu, but I cannot quit the application I have to reset my phone. I can I can't select anything on the menu? (Am I missing anything here?)
Managed to get it working just by running the exe (as mentioned before), and somehow selecting the keyboard. Bizarrely the exit option is now working as well. Not sure if that's because I changed the skin inside gflauncher first? (I'm not using gflauncher though).
can run on HD2. but couldn't quit.
the menu doesn't work, such as "new game", "options", "quit game". counldn't save or read game.
btw, now i found out how to quit. need a bit time to be used to navi pad.
still coundn't use wvga mode even i installed wvgafix4.
i used to play this game on my lunix phone (moto e680i)

Have you tried pressing home key then shutting it down with task mgr
?. How does it run on the hd2?. I'm going try it tomorrow.
What is going on ?. It uninstallled all my memory card and after 3 resets my hd2 is at a crawl. I deleted this doom program.
Ok. Nothing has been uninstallled. I apologize for the comment below.It is all the short cut links that have been deleted after exiting game. Has this happened to anybody else. I'm not a programmer so is this just coincidence ?. Sorry to OP if it is. Thanks

Downloaded goldeneye, changed name to doom2.wad. It was like a demo. Looked good though. No buttons worked. Then my hd2 went crazy,so I soft reset it. Then suddenly all my programs and games short cuts were gone. Had to re install all my cabs. Phone working fine again after hard reset. No idea what happened.
Hello, sorry for not replying earlier, but I was quite busy preparing for the exams. I am not sure how does GFDoom look on HD2, I would be more than grateful if someone could make a screenshot for me And I completely haven't thought about the persons that do not have center button, sorry For now, you can use BaDoomedorigNoNaviB keyboard and press LOAD as an enter key. Also, if you would like to have working hardware keys, use the program attached to this post and write me the values of each button so I could map them ASAP In the second post I have also included some pics that should explain the onscreen cotrols, including the exit button.
fallenmonk-> That is quite strange, I am not a developer of GfDoom (source is available, so any good dev could improve it ), but I doubt if this menace was caused by GfDoom
thanks for updating.
badoomedorignonavi skin working well. but still can't quit from landscape mode.
for wvga HD2. a blank bar on bottom or on left in lanscape mode

Good to hear that! You can go back to portrait by pressing back key. If that doesn't work, please, post me HD2 keycode for that button I you will get a new skin in no time For a black bar problem, I can get it fixed if you could provide me a picture similar to the one I have attached to this post, just extended to exactly 240x400 and then I could edit doomskin settings to use it fullscreen (hopefully ) You could even improve the standard set of keys to fill the gap in the new part of the screen and I could make them work!
Wolfas
Thanks for the reply. I will give it another go. Goldeneye looked very good on the hd2. Demo even had a bazooka lol. Only the up and down buttons worked on menu but not enter so could not start actual game. Will try post some pics. Thanks.
these are my screen shots.
i tried some apps to find out keycode but they are not working.
I have recently been playing around with my phone and discovered that with HTC Sense, you can create folders similar to iOS. These folder can be placed anywhere on the homescreen and you can drag apps into them. You can open the folder to view or open the apps that you dragged in the folders.
I don't know how many people know about, but I don't think it is common knowledge or an obvious feature.
To add a folder to your homescreen:
1) Go to the personalize menu
2) Go down to the folders section
3) Press 'New Folder'
4) Drag the newly created folder to anywhere on your homescreen
To rename the added folder:
Note: Sometimes this is buggy and doesn't rename the label.
1) Open the folder
2) On the top of the folder where it says "New Folder," long press. A menu to rename it should come up
3) Rename it
4) Confirm
5) The folder should be renamed
These folders can be pretty useful to help navigate to certain apps, clear up clutter, make everything neater, etc.
Screenshots of what folders look like:

Alright, I'm glad you created this thread, because I've discovered the same kind of cool trick (ala 'Easteregg') with Sense 3.0:
You may not have noticed, but you now have something called 'Market' is your list of applications (trust me, it's there.):
If you click this EXACTLY one time, a portal will open, prompting you to enter your gmail account and password. If you do this EXACTLY right, a Sense feature will be unlocked that will allow you to install a whole slew of new applications DIRECTLY to your phone (kind of like itunes). There are TENS of custom apps available that you will want to try out. In fact, I wrote one of them myself: a little game/(time-killer) called 'Angry Birds', which is available right now for FREE.
(If you enjoy my little game, please hit my 'thanks' button.)
EDIT: Pics (as proof).
The "Market" (if you did it right) looks like this:
In game pic from the 'bird game':
(PROTIP: Try to knock down the 'pigs'.)
Let me know if this Easteregg works for anyone else.
Sent from my Evo³d
not really like iOS folders b/c it doesn't show the small icons of each app inside on the folder icon. I highly suggest smarter shortcuts b/c of its customization it offers.
I would thank, if this was a feature to add a folder in the app drawer. But I was doing this with my Hero back in the day.

Clearly everyone that visits this forum has had an HTC Android phone from the beginning. There's no possible way that there is even one person who didn't know about the folder option.
I'd noticed the folder option a few times but never really looked into it. The OP shed some light on something that not everyone may have played with yet and he's been burned at the stake for it.
And we wonder why general people and devs are leaving XDA.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Sheese people are so mean and I thought Apple fanboys were bad.
I too never played with the folder. I've seen it but never tried it until today. Thanks OP.
Actually, Sense greatly extends the inventory of possible applications and intents available to this Android feature. Beforehand you all go and dismiss the OP, I invite you to take a closer look at the different shortcuts and application settings that you can place in a folder.
If you haven't tried it you shouldn't knock it. Try my Motorola Photon... it has none of this. In fact the feature set is actually reduced over stock Android.
Thanks OP for reminding us of this.

Hey everyone! Hope you guys are enjoying your prime.
I've been very interested in HUBS for the android tablets and I've searched many places and some youtube tutorials but none of them seem to work 100%. I'm hoping someone can post a step by step tutorial on transformer prime ICS on how to make hubs for everyone who wants hubs on their prime.
Thanks!
P.S. I've looked around on the forums and I've found a couple hubs thread but none helped.
I'm not really sure what you're talking about as the threads I've looked at for hubs and the YouTube videos I've seen have been very informative. I set up a hubs layout the other week that I love. A few more tweaks and I'll be posting on the homescreens thread.
Perhaps you should be more specific as to what you've been having trouble with.
There is a topic, I think it's on the first page, with a awesome tutorial with lots of screenshots for ideias on original Transformer ''Themes and apps''

Holy crap this looks slick! And I thought spb had some nice eye candy. I'm def going to have to try this out. I wonder if there's a way to combine this layout with spb. You would lose the nice transition animations though which is a large part of the appeal.

Hey how did you get those app folders to pop up in the middle of the screen like that when you clicked those side icons?
One way to do it is to use folder organizer or app organizer, then use an invisible icon which you would place behind the widget. So when you touch the widget, you're really touching the icon underneath which brings up the apps. Hope that helps. Still trying to get mine all set up, very time consuming.

And here is the link for the whole album. I think I use some rather nice wallpapers. http://imgur.com/a/bJ106#0
For my personal use, I set it up with two things in mind.
It has to be functional. I'm an organization freak and so the different hubs would have to legitimately be useful and not just for design. For example, when I'm doing schoolwork The only things I see on my screen are applications I let myself use (and I further enforce this by combining Pomordroido and Tasker to kill any apps not seen on that screen).
Work well with two handed use. While it's kind of a moot point a majority of the time because my tablet is in the dock, when I do use it undocked I want to be able to access everything quickly. You'll notice that all of my buttons are on the left and right hand side of the screens, and all are clickable with either thumb, never having to lift my hand.
Apps I use to achieve this are ADW EX Launcher, Minimalistic Text, and Pure Calendar Widget.
I'll post a video of it sometime later; it's pretty slick. Funnily enough, I was already using the exact same transitions the guy in the video posted above used, so you already know how that looks.

Thanks! That clears some things up.
Has anyone tested to see of it works? Mine were delivered but I won't get home to play until tonight.
Just got the attention of the Themer folks (others said "wasn't compatible" in their sub forums) and they said the have a LG G3 on the way for testing.
Time for a big update here.
Time for a big update here. I got home last night and played around with my new phone for a couple of hours.
Once it was done restoring apps I hit the home button and guess what, it had restored Themer from the market.
It works 100 perfectly fine. The only issue I had was trying to go in to choose a theme.
It kept giving me a pop up that my device wasn't supported. To get past that I hit OK and instead of hitting a category just clicked on the themes pane to the right. I was able to scroll down and select one, and install it, everything is perfect.
Do most items get themed? Can you post some pics?
I'm assuming you haven't used femur before? I'll post some pictures, it basically is a replacement launcher that has widgets and icons already built in, groups and everything else. It's one of the more impressive apps I've seen on Android.
This is the current theme I have on.

Please explain how did u bypass that? i have been trying to get a theme to choose
LOL
You just quoted to me on how to do it.
"Instead of hitting a category i just clicked on the themes pane to the right. I was able to scroll down and select one, and install it, everything is perfect"
So.
You try to click on categories and it gives you the popup. Hit OK or whatever to get rid of that screen, and click on the right hand side of the screen (you might be able to swipe).and you can access the list of themes and select one.
I found you CAN click on Exported, just not categories.
Here's another of my favorite themes on Themer.

Time for a big update here. I got home last night and played around with my new phone for a couple of hours.
Once it was done restoring apps I hit the home button and guess what, it had restored Themer from the market.
It works 100 perfectly fine. The only issue I had was trying to go in to choose a theme.
It kept giving me a pop up that my device wasn't supported. To get past that I hit OK and instead of hitting a category just clicked on the themes pane to the right. I was able to scroll down and select one, and install it, everything is perfect.

ive never used the theme app. i dont supposed you have a link? i cant seem to find it?
thanks in advance
They have a sub forum here on xda-developers, but the app is available in the markets. It is not compatible with the g3 according to them, so u can't download it. I was only able to download it because I had it backed up from my previous phone.

Awesome idea dude. Themer. Outs a game changer, haven't taken it off of my phone or stored using it since it came out. What do you think about it?
The themes are great, but the customization is fantastic.

I don't know that I know what that is. I use the status bar double tap to turn off the screen.
the knock feature is the double to wake and double tap to sleep
little update
i managed to get double tap to sleep working with themer.
i installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
then went into themer settings, gestures and set a double tap to that app. works great
Good tip neckbonest. Got it working in my next launcher now. Thanks
How did you guys get themer to work on your G3 on lollipop. I can't get any themes to show in themes menu and when I download a theme from chrome and push it to the themes folder it wont show up! I'd love to be able to use themer.
Does anyone know why I'm getting a Google Downloading notification so many times a day, and you can't clear them either, without disabling every notification in settings. It doesn't give any clue as to what's being downloaded. When I tap & hold it, it leads to a list of about 25 different notifications. I've tried disabling them in various combinations, to no avail. It's not updates to play services, or other system apps. I see those updates separately. I'm at a loss as to what it is for. It pops up many times when using Google keyboard, especially at times I'm typing in a search inquiry, on all kinds of different apps. But, it does appear at times I'm not using keyboard, though, less frequently.
Got a screenshot or something to help identify it?

I can't screenshot the notifications shade when pulled down. All it shows is two arrows in a circle one over the other, Google (dot) 1min which continues the count for several minutes. And under that, Downloading. I can activate or cause it to appear when I type in any search bar, in any browser app, or other apps, so, I'm thinking it has something to do with the Google keyboard perhaps. It's really starting to annoy, or frustrate me.
i was just able to take screenshots of notifications? ( Pressing at the same time POWER and VOL - ) you could also if you really wanted to help anyone figure out how to help you: screen record it then export photo, or even find the image online.
let me re-read what you have here and consider it further.

Hmmm. looks a lot like the sync icon for profile stuff like contacts and calendar etc.
Could be glitching while attempting to sync from the cloud? I would maybe turn that off and see if it does it.
If you turn off all google notifications does it still do?
to be honest i have not ever seen that before, so im wildly guessing and im not an expert lol. it sometimes takes a while to get a response here and sometimes no response is given at all. i would suggest posting your question here:

I mean tho that one says 23 notifications a day of "data download" turn that off. that is likely it.
Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks

That might have done the trick, as soon as I turned it off, the notification disappeared from my shade. I'll give it a day or so, and report back. I must have missed that in my earlier messing around. Hopefully, it's cured?
COOL
It is likely the speech services trying to download your language files. It could be easily solved if that is the case and you connect to wifi then do what would make it happen again and give it time to download what it needs.
As a side-note turning off the notification is just masking the issue. if you really want to get to the root of the problem what i would do is look at running the stuff running and close them one by one, while also clearing each of their cache, and when you find out which one is causing it such as the google speech language download (which is very likely) then clear data to that app and be connected to wifi because otherwise it wont download.
I can report that the notification is no longer activated when typing in a search bar. So far, that's a good sign.

I thought it might be speech services as well at first, but then I remembered just yesterday I was getting a download for speech services and the notification actually said "speech services".
well it is a 334 mb file so give it enough time maybe. but yeah likely be resolved from being connected to wifi for a while maybe reboot while on wifi. but yeah turing that off should make it just stop telling you it need to download something.

Speech services is one of the first things I nuked when setting the device up. I'm not a fan. Could be due to my interest, hence search terms activate the download, but, I've turned off most of that stuff in other Google settings.
